Clean, safe, family friendly camp with a pool and playground loved by the kids. Easy walk to town, including another huge playground. We stayed in a family cabin which was as expected for a cabin in terms of condition and amenities. Lovely solid bunks that dont move around when the kids climb to the top. Only suggestion would be to add a blind to the bathroom windows - they are frosted but its not that effective with the lights on

Friendly and approachable staff. Must check-in before 1830 hours or to prearrange if check-in is after 1830 hours. A small 2-bedroom cabin with limited amenities. We were given each 12gb Wifi which is very generous. Very near to the town centre.
